20th Century European Urbanism – urbanHIST’s Objectives
Throughout the 20th century, urban planning constituted itself as an important tool to spatially direct social developments. Contemporary historiographic approach to urbanism. Most studies on 20th century urban planning adopt a national perspective, while studies aiming to provide an overview focus on several core countries with special attention to the generation of planning innovations in the advanced capitalist countries. The mainstream planning historiography mostly ignores not only a majority of European countries, but also important aspects of the history of urbanism like the function of urban planning as an instrument of nation-building, as a resource of power for dictatorships or as vehicle to homogenise the development of bigger areas of the continent. Furthermore, methodological approaches are very heterogeneous. urbanHIST follows an approach which responds to this criticism.
